Forgive the delay in my reply! but things are chugging along smoothly.

The safe is elsewhere; I bring either a 12 ga or a pistol into the room and stash them accordingly. In the morning, they are returned to safekeeping.

I do my best to keep the brandishing (inside my own home) to a minimum.

Ladies! Again, thank you very much for your perspectives! and a range trip is in the plans. I haven't forgotten!
